Although St Petersburg is more of an off-shoot of the actual Trans-Siberian railway it is a very popular start point for St Petersburg to Beijing train trips and St Petersburg to vladivostok trips that will ultimately terminate in Vladivostok or Beijing. The city itself is one of the highlights of Russia and the country’s cultural centre – an architectural masterpiece of palaces, theaters, canals and museums with a very different atmosphere to Moscow so you won’t feel you are covering the same ground.

“I’m now safely ensconced in Hanoi after a wonderful trip. It really did live up to the advanced billing and it was clear that you have put a lot of thought in to the choices of accommodation and the people you partner with along the way. And most of them knew you personally which was a big source of confidence for me.”

Start your Trans-Siberian Railway tour from St Petersburg

Our Trans-Siberian trips starting from St Petersburg usually have 3 nights in St Petersburg which we feel is about the right amount of time. St Petersburg is connected to Moscow by overnight trains or our preference of the high speed “Sapsan” day trains which make the 650 km journey in just 4 hours making this city particularly well connected to Moscow.
